“Blackbirds” review – Music OMH

February 16, 2015

Compelling storytelling is a rare quality but Peters excels in this respect for Blackbirds, a trait that leaves the listener paying close attention to every word uttered. The stunning title track, along with its closing reprise, tells the tale of a crime scene in Louisiana where she declares, “no one saw me come and no one saw me go, only the blackbirds and you”; its opening scratches of electric guitar drawl and sparse vocals paint an ominous canvas before a captivating chorus takes hold.

You have to watch the quiet ones. Sometimes the loudest truths are served with a whisper. Gretchen Peters, who has written some of country’s most intelligent songs of life’s complications, offers a hushed benediction for a woman emerging from the chilled-over remains of what is truly not enough to flower into full potential.- Holly Gleason / No Depression

If Peters’ ’96 debut, The Secret of Life, had the answers, her edgier follow-up poses the questions, mostly about how to navigate rough emotional terrain. Full of surprises – “Eddie’s First Wife” has a randy lesbian at its center – Peters brings the pop sensibility of Sheryl Crow to meditations on Amelia Earhart and Picasso’s cat. Easy to see why she’s already captured the Brits. B+-Alanna Nash / Entertainment Weekly
